Coal power plant 2700MW MK.3 v1.1

@Emre1 yes, you can. Water consumption is same for all fuel types, so feel free to use compacted coal.

Can I use compacted coal as fuel?

Very nice thanks. Had some problems setting it up (low water) until I overclocked the Water Extractors,

Works like a charm. Thank you. https://imgur.com/a/znKoo9a

Hey! I just downloaded and love it so far. I started with half of the factory, I'm now working on the other half of the factory and I let the water fill up all the way, fed coal into it, and for whatever reason, the coal is not going into the factories. Any suggestions?

Its a great build. With updates its ready out of the box. Just need to give it a few minutes to "populate" and it will run at 100%. I will say I built this in a few places to supplement power while I built oil power and when I went to delete them all of them are glitched and cannot be deleted from the map. When I try it crashes my entire game. Not sure if anyone else is having this problem . Other than that love this build and I will continue to use it.

Warlok, i just downloaded it and build it. There are pump right behind doors, on input pipes.

I don't know if you update the blueprint file with the updates that you mentioned on your comment about the pumps but the file I downloaded today no have pumps on.

Guys, few days ago i made updated version, where i added pumps right behind inputs. So pumps should be no more problems.

@Aperture5280: After you put the pumps on(make sure you're at the proper height of 10 feet - 2 full walls with 2 1/4 walls = 10 m is accurate)), delete and reinstall the section just above it, it's been an issue for a bit and I've found that this fixes it.

Ok, I don't know how everyone else is doing it but after a more detailed look at everything the 2nd and 3rd pipes (starting from the door) have ceiling posts that are actually not connect to the water pipes. I deleted those, reconnect pipe and Viola! instant filling of the generators

And to be clear, yes I have enough water and coal coming in.

Can someone please post a pic or explain where the pumps go? I have been messing with this for days and I can only get partial power. I'm put pumps on my lines coming in and the trying pumps on the vertical pipes going up to the generators and I can't get them all full.

SnipersLaww there is no problem with blueprint itself, you need to setup PUMPS on incoming pipes. Water head lift is low, if you dont have water in generators.

Could not get this to work at all for me.. rebuilt it a couple of times and various water feeding methods to try and fix it but just could not get water to go up into the generators. Got fed up and deleted it and rebuilt a completely different factory from scratch that takes up 3 times the area. _

It is a beautiful design, but I can't get it to snap to existing foundations for some reason. No matter how I orient it, it always about wall width offset.

Deleted it all 50 parts at the time. Set it up again and now it all works fine. V1.0

game crashes when deleting the entire blueprint. and water is not getting in to all the generator ( bottom generator and up )

Works perfectly on 1.0. Awesome job Katoo, can't wait to try out your other designs!

Haren13 it is up to you. You bring water from somewhere and i dont know from where. So in input pipe you must ensure, that head lift in each pipe is enough, to pump water to top generator.

Where do you put the pumps? Dont understand where

Thanks @Katoo, I've used some of your other wonderful blueprints from before v1 release. I'm excited to use this one again once I unlock the Blueprinter in this new save.

Yes, of course.

Hey! Does it work on 1.0?

Ok, OMG... what a BEAUTIFUL design. The instructions are super clear, and I had mine up and running in less than 30 minutes. Only reason it took me that long was figuring out how I wanted my water supply & pipes to run. Once all water and coal hooked up, bam... soooooo nice! Running purrrrfectly on Update 8 (Early Access CL#273254)... yes, 8 days before 1.0 drops... heh. I'm really hoping this will work in 1.0, and if not it'll be updated. Anyway, I rated this a 5 star but was instructed to not be lazy and just rate ;)

bana17, do not load it to designer, it is not possible to load it to standard designer. Just build it(like other blueprints, select it and build it somewhere).

Hi, when I want to use this blueprint, it shows this message " the blueprint does not fit the dimensions of this blueprint designer", What should I do? :( thx

@nundes glad to hear, thanks a lot.

Il works perfectly! Ideal for a middle phase of the game when a player starts to need a lot of energy. Thank you very much man ;-)

I am a bit lost. I connect the plant to power and nothing starts. The coal generator inside are showing no power. I used as the first image as reference for connecting the power.

Are pumps for headlift needed inside the factory bottom floor

Took a while for me to plug in the water and coal and set the overclocks, but works brilliantly! Many thanks!

Im so sorry to hear it :( Unfortunately, im not developer and i have no idea, why dismantling leads to game crash. What i can advice, try to dismantle it old way(part by part), or use SCIM page, where you can load your save, mark what you want to delete and confirm deletion. It is an external tool, so it will works fine.

Hey Katoo, Im also running into an issue where my game crashes when deleting the entire blueprint as a whole. I am trying to move it to another part of my world, any ideas on what I can do?

Nyxsenju you need to use pumps, they are not included in BP. I dont know, from which height players will drag water, so it must be taken into account by them. Check head lift and build pumps. Remember, it is not enough to pump it to height of lower coal generator, they must be able to pump to height of 3rd generator.

i see, possibly is the reason why it crashes, also just to check, the water pipes arent flowing even on level ground all generators stuck at 10 m3 water, might wanna give a check on it, nice bps btw

Nyxsenju, it is possible, i never tested dismantling of whole BP :) It is not created in standard BP designer, but in modded MP Designer+, so this can be a reason.

im not sure what you used in your blueprint but im experiencing a bug that causes my game to crash when dismantling the blueprint as a whole

I'm sorry I mix up with the other blueprints

xtradi, this is written in description - Size: 9x9 foundations. So i don't get your point.

The foundation blueprint size requirements should be shown in the description

It works very well, the only issue is that almost impossible to turn off the middle stack generators. When trying to troubleshoot flows and lift pressures it is easier to turn off some of the stack to verify there was no hiccup in building, just a couple generators continue to show no water flow, even though there are 6 x 300m3 flow pipes going into the system, and the pipes are showing max flow rates. Still producing much more power than I currently need, so will give it a day to settle in. Thank you so much for this design!

Darkira it is a mod called Blueprint Designer+. You can create bigger BPs and use it in vanilla(not modded) game.

Hello,

Thank you so much for that blueprint it is amazing ! I just have one question (for anyone who would be able to answer) how did you manage to have this blueprint which exceeds the limitation of the blueprint designer ? the limit is 4x4 foundations and this blueprint is way more than this, it is like a megaprint but with the sbp extension and i would like to understand how you did that cause i'm interested to do the same.

thanks so much.

Worked perfectly in Update 8 EA and looks beautiful! Thanks!

I'm having problems with the very first water input. The flow along that pipe goes to 0 m^3/min and the generators therefore run out of water. Even with pipeline pumps. The other water lines work fine

Many thanks for that. It was very helpful to me

@Middong check here https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Blueprint_Designer

What I mean is that I don't know how to see the content of the blueprint. In short, I don't know how to open an. spb file

@Middong as any other blueprint, just build it somewhere.

After downloading the blueprint, I am not sure how to use it.

Aha! I was wrong. Thank you for the correction!

It is 45 per generator, so yes, 2 pipes can handle 9 generators. But it is easier to use 3 pipes, also i wanted to prevent back flow and still some reserve for overclocking.

Nice! Thank you for adding the foundation size. Question: Given there are three coal generators stacked atop each other, and six stacks, would you need three pipes of 300m3 of water? Each coal generator requires 50m3 per minute.

@zs2023 it is 9x9 foundation. I never think about size, i just build, what i want and check :) Anyway, no issue, i can add this parameters to my blueprints, if it is useful for players.

How large is the foundation for this blueprint? (Actually, it could be helpful to note that for all your blueprints. ;) )
